Seriously ... you need to go to the guitar store and audition them for yourself. No one can tell you which is the right guitar for you but your own two hands.

From the list you gave I would suggest Ibanez RG4EXQM1 which has a very good bridge. Ibanez do a very good job with Floydrose. Its very stable when you do the dive bomb.
Jackson is nice, but the trem is bad. Floyrose under Jackson License looks like an original Floydrose. The bar must be screwed to the bridge and it will never stay in the right place ( Ibanez's bar just pust and it stays)
Ibanez have such smaller neck than Jacson. If you would like to so speed solo. Ibanez is recommended, but one thing Jackson is much better is the wood of body is much better then Ibanez. They always stated that they use Basswood body, but I feel that its very low quality. Using heavy dive bomb is not recommended. The bridge would get off of the body. ( not Joking I have once with my RG420 .. and I feel like body is a plywood not a real wood ) Check it carefully by the light. I meant lift the body up and see with the light. If you see many layers .. get a new one. Easiest way to do is open the back plate. There will be some places which have not been painted.
Another Ibanez I would recommend is an used RG550, 560, 570. These are vintage and very nice guitars.
Other brands for your kind of music with this budget .. I have no ideas. Dive bomb must be done well with Ibanez trem. :-)
Save up some more money for a set of EMG pickup .... Then ROCK !!!

if you have the money, & it appears you do..... from your 3 choices listed ; I would look more into a Jackson Soloist or even a Ernie Ball model like EVH plays.... it has the trem & it should handle the abuse.
Ibanez & Schecter are great too.
> Main problem with all is to get the right kind of wood combinations in the fretboard/body, certain wood combinations sound better than others.
Certain woods are only in more expensive models.
